I went out to the yard this morning and cut down my founders day tree (1992) I put it up in the living room in the corner under the crucifix and under James Casey's picture!! Big baboo & Over9/5 will be coming by tonite to help decorate with old tracers call tags & some old style Next day and 2nd day labels !!!!!My wife has made some U.P.S cookies some with the old shield for old times sake !!!! HAPPY FOUNDERS DAY EVERYONE !!!!! EVEN YOU MR. SCROOGE !!!!!!

We didn't get anything, not even a bottle of water. I expected at least a cake or something. I asked one of my supes what we were doing for Founder's Day, and he didn't even know about it. So I am now celebrating at home with some steak nachos and beer.

I did buy a UPS Monopoly game for ten bucks at work yesterday. My Center Manager didn't make her United Way goal and is selling these along with some raffle tickets for a Gift Card.

LOL. I forgot about those stupid trees. I left mine in my car for three months...it died a horrific death along with the turkey they gave us for thanksgiving the year before. They're generosity astounds me.

We didn't get any "gift" this year but we had the UPS cake with some assorted fruit and juices. Watched the video and went on our way. Scratch, our center is offering the $10 UPS monopoly game for United Way too. I guess Brian didn't get us to give enough either. Our PM Supervisor was hitting all of us up for additional contributions. I only give $1 a week but I upped it to $3. In return I got the above mentioned Monopoly game, a UPS Racing hat and kids UPS racing T-shirt for my daughter.

I figured there would be no gift this year on Founders Day. The economy is not doing well and UPS is feeling the effects of it. We are losing routes and our volume is down. I was surprised we had cake.
